写作工整的从晚清至1965年的“走私史”,主要从state building(海关机构、法律体系的criminalization、经济社会生活管控)和走私者的网络/实践两个相对的角度展开,以编年顺序讨论不同历史环境下(比如清末民初的条约口岸体系、中日战争中破碎的主权/行政范围等等)两方的互动。以南京国民政府时期来说,“关税自主”、“打击走私”被经济民族主义者、中央政府视为保证主权的关键并鼓动现代/整体的国族想象,但实际上保护性的高关税反而使“走私”更加猖獗,而不愿意向中央牺牲自己利益的政治/经济行动者(地方势力、资本家)利用“走私”就是自然而然的了。

评分晚清以降对于“关税自主”的追求在一定意义上制造了“走私”(保护性的自主关税高于议定关税),而国家反过来又通过打击“走私”进一步巩固了自己的行政能力(海关建设)、法律权威(刑罚化走私)与经济管控(外贸规制)。从state building的角度阐释了何谓“法令滋彰,盗贼多有”,往近了看,又可联想到打击“海淘”背后国家对于互联网经济的渗透。Peter Perdue力荐。

Smuggling along the Chinese coast has been a thorn in the side of many regimes. From opium concealed aboard foreign steamships in the Qing dynasty to consumer commodities like nylon stockings and wristwatches trafficked in the People’s Republic, contests between state and smuggler have exerted a surprising but crucial influence on the political economy of modern China. Seeking to consolidate domestic authority and confront foreign challenges, the state introduced tighter regulations, higher taxes, and harsher enforcement. These interventions sparked widespread defiance, triggering further coercive measures: smuggling simultaneously threatened the state’s power while inviting repression that strengthened its authority.
Philip Thai chronicles the vicissitudes of smuggling in modern China—its practice, suppression, and significance—to demonstrate the intimate link between coastal smuggling and the amplification of state power. China’s War on Smuggling shows that the fight against smuggling was not a simple law enforcement problem but rather an impetus to centralize and expand regime control. The smuggling epidemic gave Chinese states pretext to define legal and illegal behavior, and the resulting constraints on consumption and movement remade everyday life for individuals, merchants, and communities. Drawing from varied sources such as legal cases, customs records, and popular press reports and including diverse perspectives from political leaders to frontline enforcers, organized traffickers, and petty runners, Thai traces how different regimes sought to police maritime trade and the unintended consequences their campaigns unleashed. China’s War on Smuggling shows how defiance helped the state redefine its power, offering new insights into modern Chinese social, legal, and economic history.
